Storm chasing can be fun, exciting, and dangerous… but how close is the new “Twisters” film to reality, or is it all a bunch of Hollywood magic?

Join Penn State Tornado Scientists, Paul Markowski and Yvette Richardson and Penn State student researchers, Quin Mulhern and Alison Sousa, as they mythbust the new, “Twisters” film, which premiered July 2024.
